What this trial studies
This intervention focuses on enhancing the resilience of hospital teams through the Tea(m)Time program, which combines mental stress risk assessment with team resilience strategies. The study aims to identify factors that facilitate or hinder the implementation of this intervention and its effectiveness. Participants will be surveyed at three different time points to gather insights on the promotion of team resilience in healthcare settings. The goal is to provide a structured approach to improving the psychological well-being of hospital staff.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are hospital employees aged 18 and older who have sufficient knowledge of German and are not on sick leave.
Not a fit: Patients who are younger than 18, do not speak German, are on sick leave, or do not work in the participating clinics will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could significantly enhance the mental well-being and resilience of hospital staff, leading to better patient care.
How similar studies have performed: While resilience programs for individuals are common, this team-focused approach is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in similar studies.
